Abstract excerpt
Rhizobium nodulation (Nod) factors are lipo-chitooligosaccharides that act as symbiotic signals, eliciting a number of key developmental responses in the roots of legume hosts. One of the earliest responses of root hairs to Nod factors is the induction of sharp oscillations of cytoplasmic calcium ion concentration ("calcium spiking"). This response was first characterised in Medicago sativa and Nod factors were...
